Marvel proudly presents an Epic Collection pairing Namor, the Sub-Mariner''s complete early Silver Age appearances with his Tales to Astonish solo series for the very first time. An icon of comics'' Golden Age, the Sub-Mariner hadn''t seen newsstands in nearly a decade when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby reintroduced him in 1962.

Bold and brash, the Sub-Mariner fought Marvel''s heroes, teamed up with Doctor Doom and attacked the surface world just as readily as he might save it. His appearances were so popular, he quickly graduated to his own series, questing for the Trident of Neptune that would prove his status as rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis.
